Day 1 – Setting the stage: Implementation process, requirements and pitfalls

Setting the stage: Implementation process, requirements and pitfalls

Day 1 starts with an introduction to ISMS in an information security risk management context. Key concepts, principles, terms and definitions of the ISO / IEC 27001:2017 standard are evaluated, and how you should interpret its requirements to define the scope of your ISMS. You will learn how the standard establishes the management cycle for information security and what steps you should take to ensure successful planning and implementation in practice. The course offers an overview of the process, main challenges and pitfalls, and prerequisites that should be met before ISO 27001 implementation and that will set the stage for more in-depth discussions during Day 2 and Day 3.

Topics covered:

• ISMS and information security risk management
• Information security objectives and control objectives
• Policies, processes and resources
• Phases of ISMS implementation
• History and structure of ISO 27001

From Day 2 onwards, the course takes a more in-depth and hands on approach towards implementation of the standard and ensure continuous improvement of the information security process. After a more thorough look at ISO/IEC 27001:2017 and ISO/IEC 27002:2022, challenges in selection and implementation of controls are discussed. ISMS stakeholders are evaluated and how to involve them and keep them involved in your program. Quite some time today is spent on risk and risk assessments, the very foundation of the information security practice. We will discuss how to avoid check-box compliance, the difference between doing the right things versus doing the right things right by taking a risk-based approach. You will learn how to evaluate ISMS performance, identify nonconformities, and take corrective actions. Lastly you will learn how to work with your internal audit department, prepare for an internal audit and management review.
